Ukraine Parliament Calls for ICC to Prosecute Yanukovych
2014-02-26
[An Nahar] Ukraine's parliament on Tuesday called on the International Criminal Court
... where Milosevich died of old age before being convicted ...
in the Hague to prosecute ousted president Viktor Yanukovych over the "mass murder" of protesters in Kiev.
Recipe for rabbit stew: First, catch the rabbit...
"We appeal to the International Criminal Court...to bring to justice Viktor Yanukovych and other high-ranking figures who gave and carried out criminal orders," the parliament said in a statement.
That should put the problem off for a decade. At least...
Meanwhile,
...back at the revival hall, the pastor had finally been wrestled from the pulpit.
Y'got the wrong guy! he yelled just before Sergeant Malone's billy club landed...

boxer-turned-politician Vitali Klitschko announced also on Tuesday that he will be running for presidency.

A former heavyweight boxing world champion, the towering Klitschko turned his back on the ring to become one of Ukraine's most popular opposition leaders during months of anti-government protests.

On ground, two armored personnel carriers were deployed near Russian military installations in Ukraine's second port of Sevastopol, an Agence La Belle France Presse journalist said Tuesday, as hundreds of protesters rallied in the city.

One of the vehicles was visible on a base belonging to Russia's Black Sea fleet -- stationed in the pro-Moscow autonomous Crimea region for some 200 years -- while another was parked in the courtyard of a building rented by the Russian navy in the city center, the journalist said.

The appearance of the vehicles came as Ukraine's interim leader warned of "dangerous signs of separatism" amid fears that Ukraine's pro-Moscow regions could push for partition following the weekend ousting of Kremlin-backed Yanukovych.

Western countries have warned the Kremlin not to interfere with Ukraine's territorial integrity and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov toned down strident rhetoric from Moscow on Tuesday by saying it was sticking to a policy of "non-interference".

A front man for the fleet in Sevastopol questioned by AFP refused to comment on the deployment of the vehicles but local media reported that they had been sent out in case of "terrorist attacks".
